It's staggering. In the last week I've gotten about 1,200 spams on my personal accounts (I use T-bird to check them) - mostly Viagra and Cialis junk mails. It's really absurd. In the same time, I've gotten a grand total of (get this) FOUR valid/legitimate e-mails to those particular accounts (these are the ones that only family & close friends use to contact me). That's a ratio of 400 spams for every legitimate e-mail. A 40,000% increase in bandwith usage over what is required for legitimate use.

Hell has a special place for spammers. Frankly if someone wanted to sidestep some of the "due process" laws for these people, I wouldn't object.
